I have been involved with 5 PDC's, 2 Forest Garden Design Intensives, and a Pc Teacher Training. FLPCI's course is phenomenal and at the top of my permaculture education experience. I heart FLPCI!!! (Juliette Jones, PittsburghPermaculture.org)

“It was really great to have a lot of people come in and have a really enormous temporary community... It was fun doing all the work, but also being with the people that were part of the program. We were a good group of folks. I remember them as fondly as I remember some of the times spent in the classroom talking about mushrooms and compost.” (Peter Sutera, OakOsageFarm.com)
